Your point? What does that theocracy actually mean?

I know you've hastily transformed into a shit poster but you really think American Christians sympathize with murder in the name of Christianity or making homosexuality illegal?


Yes, I do think that. The only thing holding them back is pushback from the left.

Maybe. But only because of influence from those other countries. Radical Muslims in the US aren't following the ideology of Western Muslims. They're following the ideology of Eastern radicals.
Ironically though the Eastern Christians doing the awful shit are quite often following the ideology of Western Christians.

Ofc let's also not forget Anders Breivik and Lewis Dear... among others.


I don't know what you're talking about. There's moderate Islam, conservative Islam, and radical Islam. I've never heard of Western or Eastern Islam before. If you poll American Muslims compared to Belgian/French Muslims, you'll see that the Americans are more moderate.

Same with Western/Eastern Christianity, I don't know what you mean. Radical Christians in Africa ascribe to "Western Christianity"? How? There's a big difference between the American Christian landscape and UK/France for example.

Anders Breivik wasn't motivated by his Christian beliefs and Lewis Dear was ruled incompetent to stand trial.

70% of US identifies as Christians yet no one is talking about making homosexuality illegal ( not even talking about marriage but the acts themselves)

Do continue with the shit posting though.


I know for a fact they sympathize with people who bomb abortion clinics.

Link to survey that support your facts?

Oh wait i forgot you live in the middle of Bumfuckville USA and you're probably basing your "facts" on anecdotes.

Seems a lot less radical to kill an abortion doctor than to mow down your co-workers or randoms in a gay bar.

Except Muslims in the first world still have much higher rates of regressive ideology. Look up surveys in the UK and be shocked at the rates they hold onto barbaric and regressive ideas.


This is correct. There are more studies of British Muslims that show similar findings, especially in regard to terrorism and free speech in the context of the Charlie Hebdo cartoons.

The equivalence inkanddagger is trying to make is the following:

>British Muslims polled show socially conservative views
> American Christians are socially conservative

It's a baseless argument as he is conflating social conservatism with a disregard and contempt for Western principles

Next argument is:
> Muslims blow people up
> Christians blow people up

The frequency of bombings in Europe by Muslims is far greater than that of any other religion per capita. Maybe America too, I don't know

Inkandagger is actually a pretty smart guy, there's more than a few times he's made some really good/brilliant posts. Idk, maybe he's trolling or just looking to rustle jimmies?
